Proving the Truck Driver was at Fault for the Accident
Although the police report indicated that the bicyclist was at fault and the truck driver was not, Pritzker and Hageman took the case and did their own investigation:
- Truck Driver's Logbooks. After obtaining the truck driver’s logbooks, they were able to determine that there were numerous falsifications, which should have caused the driver to be out of service at the time of the accident.
- Truck Driver Deposition. Moreover, the deposition revealed that the truck driver had failed to monitor his right outside mirrors during his turn. This failure was compounded by the truck driver’s admission that he believed he was pulling a 48-foot trailer, as opposed to a 53-foot trailer.
- Accident Reconstruction.
red and Eric hired accident reconstruction specialists. Fred, Eric and the accident reconstruction team used evidence they had gathered at the scene, eyewitness accounts, the police report and other evidence to reconstruct the accident. Fred and Eric then hired an animationist to do an animation of the accident.
